Slippery When Wet - Lubricants
Lube, perhaps more than any other accessory, is a crucial bonking ingredient. You’ll also get more mileage from your plastic-fantastic friends when you play if you use a lubricant. And if you’re not already using a lube with your trusty vibrator, you’ll be amazed at how different a drop or two will make your vibe feel and how much wetter and wilder your orgasms will be!
But with so many different lubricants on the market today, how do you go about choosing the lube that’s right for you?
We know selecting a lubricant can be confusing, but by following our easy to read guide, you’ll be on your way to safe and slippery play in next to no time!
Are you looking for a lubricant that feels as natural as possible? Then a water-based lube may be to your liking. Affordable and readily available, water-based lubes make the ideal motion lotion as they supplement a woman’s natural vaginal lubrication and are also appropriate for most sex toys as they won't damage expensive silicone and CyberSkin. Water-based lubricants are generally additive, grease and fragrance free too, which means they’re safe to use with condoms and barrier protection, they’re versatile and gentle on sensitive skin, and they wash off easily and quickly in water, making cleaning up after you play a breeze!

Or do you want something with more staying power? A silicone lube should do the trick as it won't be easily absorbed and should stay slick for a very long time! Silicone lubricants are slightly more expensive, but they’re worth every penny as a very small drop goes a long, long way. Silicone lubricants are also perfect for use in the water and with our great range of waterproof toys when you really want to slip, slide and glide. Silicone lubes can also be used as a skin moisturizer and are great for full body massage - you can even use them for shaving!

Both water-based and silicone lubes are highly recommended because they’re safe to use with condoms, diaphragms, dental dams and sex toys. Oil-based lubricants like petroleum jelly (Vaseline), massage oils or body lotions can cause condoms to break. Silicone lubricants however should NOT be used with toys made from silicone, CyberSkin, or UR3 as they will make the material deteriorate, causing cracking and peeling of your toy’s super soft surface. When in doubt as to what type of material your toy is made of, always use a water-based lubricant.
Will you be using your lube for anal play? This type of penetration absolutely, positively needs lubrication because the rectum doesn't produce any natural lubrication of its own. You'll also want a thicker lubricant for indulging in anal play, possibly with a desensitiser in the formula. Water-based lube is generally the best choice for back door bump and grind because it won’t destroy latex or make condoms unsafe.

Lubricants can also be an easy and fun addition to spicing up your sex life. We have a great range of deliciously flavoured lubricants to tantalize your taste buds while lubricating your lover, as well exquisitely textured warming lubricants to add that extra kick to your sexual encounters.
But remember…having sex without lube is like driving a car without tyres. It’s just about possible, but you won't find it terribly comfortable, you might damage some key equipment, and you certainly won’t get anywhere very fast!
